Table 1. Specifications (Continued)
Performance
Independent Linearity (transmitters only):
1% of
output pressure change for 100% span.
Hysteresis:
0.6% of output pressure change at 100%
proportional band, differential gap, or span
Repeatability:
0.2% of displacer length or
displacement force change
Deadband (except differential gap controllers
):
0.05% of proportional band or span
Typical Frequency Response:
4 Hz and 90 degree
phase shift at 100% proportional band with output
piped to typical instrument bellows using 6.1 meters
(20 feet) of 1/4‐inch tubing

Hazardous Area Classification
2500 and 2503 controllers/transmitters comply with
the requirements of ATEX Group II Category 2 Gas
and Dust
Supply and Output Connections
1/4 NPT internal
Maximum Working Pressure (sensors only)
Refer to the appropriate sensor instruction manual
NOTE: Specialized instrument terms are defined in ANSI/ISA Standard 51.1 -
Process Instrument Terminology.
1. Controllers are field adjustable between direct or reverse action. The letter R in the type number indicates that the controller/transmitter shipped from the factory set for reverse action (see chang
ing controller action procedures). The letter C in the type number indicates that a pointer is attached to the torque tube shaft providing visual monitoring of torque tube motion.
2. Control and stability may be impaired if the maximum pressures are exceeded.
3. The pressure/temperature limits in this document, and any applicable standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.
4. These statements apply only to units sized to produce a full output change for a 100% level change at the maximum proportional band dial setting.
5. Adjusting the span of the differential gap controller is equivalent to adjusting the deadband.
